Third International Workshop on Logics for Resource-Bounded Agents (LRBA 2010)

Formal models of knowledge and belief, as well as other attitudes such as desire or intention, have been extensively studied. However, most of the treatments of knowledge and belief make strong assumptions about reasoners. For example, traditional epistemic logic says that agents know all logical consequences of their knowledge. Similarly, logics of action and strategic interaction are usually based on game theoretic models which assume perfect rationality. Models based on such assumptions can be used to describe ideal agents without bounds on resources such as time, memory, etc, but they fail to accurately describe non-ideal agents which are computationally bounded.

The workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing possible solutions to the problem of formally capturing the properties of knowledge, belief, action, etc. of non-idealised resource-bounded agents. We are particularly interested in formal models of agents' limited reasoning and (un)awareness (there will be a publication on this topic following the workshop, see below).

Topics

Topics include, but are not limited to, logical models of:

limited awareness and unawareness

logically non-omniscient agents in general

explicit knowledge and belief

algorithmic knowledge

temporal logics of reasoning

active logics

knowledge and belief of reasoners with bounds on reasoning time, memory or other resource bounds (e.g. bandwidth, sensing limitations)

other attitudes, such as desire, intention, etc., under bounded resources

paraconsistency

rational choice under bounded resources

games under bounded resources, e.g.,

games with bounded recall, e.g., bounded recall, incomplete information, limited awareness of the structure of the game
